Fortaleza unveil special kit for the 2026 Copa do Nordeste | OneFootball

Fortaleza unveiled this Friday (27th) its new special uniform, which will be used in the Copa do Nordeste in 2026. The collection, developed in collaboration with Volt Sport, features distinct models for field players and the goalkeeper, both incorporating elements that celebrate the rich cultural identity of the club and the northeastern region.

Field Player Jersey: “Copas da Orla”

The jersey for field players stands out with its light blue hue, adorned with textured geometric graphics. The visual concept aims to evoke a connection with the coast, drawing inspiration from the maritime landscape, rafts, and coastal vegetation like carnaúbas, ipês, and coconut trees. The name “Copas da Orla” reflects this inspiration in the beauty and atmosphere of the northeastern coast, seeking to capture the essence of life and nature by the sea.

Goalkeeper Jersey: “Flor do Sertão”

In contrast, the goalkeeper's jersey, named “Flor do Sertão,” features graphics inspired by the mandacaru. This iconic plant of the northeastern semi-arid region symbolizes resilience, beauty, and vitality, representing the strength and perseverance of the people in the region. The “Flor do Sertão” complements the collection's narrative, translating the soul of the interior and its deep cultural roots, while the “Copas da Orla” celebrates the energy of the coast. Together, the pieces form a set that embraces the natural, historical, and emotional diversity that shapes the identity of the Northeast and Fortaleza itself.

Details and Finishes

Both models share high-standard technical and aesthetic features. The sleeves have internal cuts and ribbed cuffs, while the front collar is crafted in dark blue. The club's crest is embroidered with precision. Special details include a custom internal tape in blue and red, alluding to the colors of the “Leão do Pici,” and the application “Raízes da Nossa Terra” on the lower right of the jerseys. The finish is reinforced with hem and custom trimmings, elevating the technical and aesthetic standard of the uniforms.

Successful Partnership and Availability

The partnership between Fortaleza and Volt Sport, initiated in 2023, is consolidated with another special jersey for the regional competition, following a recent tradition. Fernando Kleimmann, managing partner of Volt Sport, highlighted the importance of the Copa do Nordeste as a stage to express regional identity and passion, stating that the collection “perfectly translates this spirit.” He emphasized the goal of “uniting technology, performance, and cultural references” to create pieces that represent the club on and off the field. The new uniforms are available in field player and goalkeeper versions for R$ 299.99, and can be purchased in physical stores, on the club's official e-commerce, and through Volt Sport's sales channels.
